Famous quotes containing the words brain and/or history:

“Invention flags, his brain goes muddy,
And black despair succeeds brown study.”
—William Congreve (1670–1729)

“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
